Ok well here is my story.. have an addiction to percocet but have been doing well..Started taking suboxone a year ago..Came off 1/4 of a 2mg and was feeling pretty bad with withdrawls ..to my surprise!! I was told the small dosage I was on, I would feel very lil wd's.. yeah right! anyway i read somewhere that taking percocet will help with the wd's..i know..STUPID!! So I took percocet 4 a week, and 2 pills 4 x a day.. of 10/325.. Now tis is 48 hours and I am in terrible wd's!! same stuff sweats, rls, insomnia.. ect.  Is this from the suboxone or am I going through wd's after taking percocet for a week..it just makes no sense?? how long will this last..please help me...

Well you got atleast another week for the sub. Dont no when your last perc was but generally the sub spits out the perc pretty fast and the withdrawals are a bit quiker but much harsher. Dont take anything else and hopefully in a week you will be glad you stuck with it. You should tell your doc what has happened incase there are problems that may arise from it. Also the longer you are on sub the worse the withdrawals will be. Sub is just another opoid drug only much much stronger. It is just as addictive as anything else. It isnt meant for long term use. The shorter time you take it the easier the withdrawals are. Just hang in there. You have gone this long another week shouldnt be to bad.

Yes, regardless liek guv338 said, your going to have to just do it either way..........or you will be back, then it will be even harder.

I understand you being off the sub but it remains in your system for atleast 30 days. It is a very slow releasing drug. It builds up in your system and even tho you stopped taking it it is still there. Thats how it works. The thinking behind it is that that slower it takes to get out of your body the less severe the withdrawals will be. Thats why the withdrawals last about a month on sub.. I cant beleive your doctor hasnt explained any of this. Any opoid drug you take during this will leave your body very fast causing quiker withdrawals from it. In any case stop the drugs and get back with the program. it would be a shame to stop now. Go to the sub web site and read up on what your doctor should have told you.

I didnt take the perc's while on the sub's..I was off them for like 8 days....I dont wanna start the sub's..It will be 3 weeks this friday that ive been off the sub's..whats the point!  Thats what makes me believe that is the perc's and its just weird to go through the w/d's after only 6 days on the perc's?  Confusing, but the insomnia is the worse..and the feeling of walking around in a daze *****..although i think its because i am not sleeping well!!

You need to stick it out regardless of sub or perc.  You are into the process and be taking more sub or anything will only make you start over and have to fight through these
roughest days again.  I cant tell you if its the sub or the perc.  I have often wondered the same.  I did 8 years on OXY and only one month on Sub.  I have tried to blame the Sub, but I no that using the Oxy so long and so much has got to be a factor in all of this.  
Blame which ever you like, but dont go back to either.  Its only a game your playing with yourself if you believe either is going to help make this easier.  Keep up the good fight and I hope you feel better real soon.
